Ezymes Flashcards
Enzymes
Proteins that speed up reactions
Substrate
the molecule the enzyme uses
Active site
Where the enzyme and substrate meet
Dehydration
Water is removed forming a bond
Hydrolysis
Water goes in breaking a bond
Enzymes are used..
Over and over until there is no more substrate
Optimum
Best temp and ph that an enzyme works in (think optimal)
Increasing substrate concentration makes reaction rate
Faster, higher Chance substrate and enzyme meet
Increase substrate on amount of product formed
More substrate=more product
Increasing enzyme concentration effect on reaction rate and product formed
Higher chance substrate and enzyme will meet but does not create more product
Temp goes higher than optimum
Slower reaction rate( enzyme denatured) if very denatured no product will be formed if only slightly denatured it will have no effect
Temp lower than optimum
Slower movement , less likely enzyme and substrate meet. If slightly cooled no effect on amount of product formed if very coo
Jo product will be formed
Changing ph away from optimum
Slower reaction rate since enzyme is denatured, if very denatured no product will be formed if slightly no effect will happen
Denaturing
Protien unfolds permanently ( caused by heat and ph
Competitive inhibitor
block active site so substrate cannot bind
